The information on this page applies only to Pretend You're Xyzzy servers running under the pretendyoure.xzy/zy domain. Other servers may have other logging policies.
There are two kinds of temporary logs.
Logs which contain your chosen user name and IP address (and, on rare occasion, things you say in chat) are collected and kept for a period of a few weeks, to assist with monitoring the server. These logs are not willingly shared with third parties, and to date have not been shared with third parties.
If the automatic moderating software takes action against you, your user name, IP address, and the chat message that triggered said action are logged. These logs are retained for approximately one month for evaluating the performance of the automatic moderation. These logs are not willingly shared with third parties, and to date have not been shared with third parties. You may not be informed that the automatic moderating software has taken action against you.
Game play details are kept on a permanent basis, to analyze which cards are the most and least popular. The data in these logs may be made publicly available once an interface is completed, and may be shared with third parties. These logs will never contain directly personally identifiable information, however they do connect cards played in multiple rounds and games to you, and include geographic information no more precise than your postal (ZIP) code (and may be incredibly inaccurate). Additionally, unless you opt-out on the Preferences tab, your card play history will be tracked between multiple sessions.
These data points are collected when you connect to a game server:
At no point is your IP address, chosen user name, or chat shared with anyone for any purpose. Fill-in-the-blank card text is, however, logged and shared.
Yeah, who doesn't use that these days? I honestly don't look at it very often. It's cool to see where people are getting linked to this from. You can block it if you really want to, but I'd prefer you didn't.
